The Worlds Best Chili Cooks cookbook

Hi Everyone, I need your help. I want to compile a cookbook. "Beyond Chili,The Worlds Best Chili Cook's Family Jewels" A compilation of recipes (not chili) that is your "signature dish". Your recipe is THE one that your family and friends expect you to cook for them when there is a get-together, again NOT chili. You guys and gals are the BEST chili cooks in the world and it would a be fun project to do. So... if you have that special recipe, and I know you do, please email it to me at ratrodchili@hotmail.com. If you don't have one maybe Uncle Al or Aunt Martha does so send it in. If and when it is complete, everyone will get recognition for your recipe and a copy of the book. I will work on it in my spare time and someday maybe we will have our own cookbook.
Thanks Ron Boisseranc
